I'm Nicolas Delaloye, watchmaker and founder of the Delaloye Genève brand.

My story unfolds in the heart of Geneva, a city synonymous with watchmaking excellence. I entered the Geneva Watchmaking School in 1987. It was there, in the hallowed halls where some of the great names in watchmaking have walked the earth, that I got my first taste of this passionate profession. I learned the basics of the trade that would become my expertise, and in 2000 I founded my own brand, giving life to my very first Garde-Temps.

After an enchanting 8-year interlude at the Patek Philippe Museum, in 2024 I undertook a veritable renaissance by relaunching the brand, infused with new energy. But the real Renaissance, the one that embodies this vision and passion, is with me in this photo.
